In this activity, learners explore different types of fossils by making their out of dough and objects from around the house.

In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In this activity, young learners will learn about moon phases using materials found at home. This activity is adapted using play dough and cups to avoid food allergens and waste.

In this activity, learners model atmospheric convection currents using food coloring, water, and clear cups. Activity includes step-by-step instructions, STEM connections, and more.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to explore how water flows up from a tree's roots to its leafy crown.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.
